Keswick Attractions |
| |
Since the 13th Century there has been a market in the town of Keswick (from 'Cese-wic' - the cheese town), and apparently cheese fairs were held regularly until the early 1900's.
In Medieval times Keswick was planned, and built, as a ribbon development along either side of the market place. By the 19th century these plots had been filled in as Yards supporting small workshops and cottage industries based on wool and leather.
Industrially, Keswick had been at the centre of the mining activities that took place in the Lake District during and after the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1. The rural economy was transformed when minerals, copper in particular, were discovered in Newlands and Borrowdale. The discovery of black lead (graphite) in a mine in Borrowdale eventually resulted in the development of pencil production in the town. Initially it is said that the black lead was used to brand sheep - and so it is claimed that Borrowdale produced the first pencils in the world. You will undoubtedly have come across the famous Cumberland Pencil already either at school or in the work place.
The Moot Hall, the most prominent of Keswick's buildings, dates back to around the 1570s when it was used as a Court House. Since then it has been used as a market, prison and Town Hall. Now it is the site of the Tourist Information Centre.
Writers and poets have been attracted to relative isolation of Keswick and the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside since the late 18th Century. William & Dorothy Wordsworth stayed in the town in 1794, Samuel Taylor Coleridge rented part of Greta Hall from 1800-1803, and his brother-in-law, Robert Southey, the poet laureat, stayed in Greta Hall for forty years. Whilst resident there he wrote the famous children's story, the 'Three Bears.' |
